TBH I've gotta say I have more respect for the rat who does well. They are usually better players in the game of life.
You see most players are losers in the G.O.L unfortunatly. I know adult virgins with health problems at young ages, socially inept with no real friends, only other players to speak to. Very sad people.
In fact this will probably offend some people on here but if I was to stereotype a pro fruit player I'd profile them as over/underweight and unhealthy with pending health problems, little or no social life/friends outside the other players they know, unconfident with women so had little or no serious relationships/sex and usually scruffy looking, taking little care of their appearance and living well below their means in cheap clothes and shit cars/homes.
If some or all of these characteristics ring a bell thats because that is what playing fruits full time has done to your life. Left you with no aspirations or healthy peers, outcast from society you can't even get a loan from the bank. Sad but true.
This is the devil's game, just like drug dealing, living off money born from others unhappiness will only bring you unhappiness yourself in the long run. As is the way of Karma, tainted money brings misery to most who touch it.
Maybe thats just my darker perspective on life, but personally a pro fruit player is something I'm embarressed to call myself, however well I've done from it. You are one notch above a criminal in society and treated as such regularly unless you flash your money about.
By the way people who think it's shit the moment that because we haven't had the mass of quaity new releases we've been spoilt with the last couple of years. Thanks to shit players who sell info on sites like these the rats aren't off your level of info now. They have more motivation than you because they are newer to the game and hungrier for the money, so you find your area burnt by people who've taken half the money you would have but have still ruined things for you.
fantastic post ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and whether we are offended or not lol ,,,,, your generalisation of the typical pro player is pretty much spot on ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, im sure all of us have at least one of those particular traits ,,,,,,,,,, (even if we wont admit it) ,,,,,,, personally i have no real friends outside of slotting , but i also think marriage plays it part in this ,,and makes it more difficult to socialise ,,,,,,,,, also i simply cant find the time ,,,,,,,,,,,, and also if im honest (despite the job) im not a down the pub type of person and would much sooner cuddle up with a good film.
i also like what grant said about designer clothes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
its a tuffy really ,,,,,,,,,,, we all want to look smart ,,,,,,,,, but wearing good designer clothes does give off the impression that you are carrying money ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, which is not the intelligent thing to do in some of the shitholes we put ourselves through.
